Robb answered each of them with cool courtesy, much as Father might have, and somehow he bent them to his will.
羅柏冷靜而有禮貌地一一應答，漸漸收服了他們的心，今天若換做父親，大概也不過如此吧。
And when Lord Umber, who was called the Greatjon by his men and stood as tall as Hodor and twice as wide, threatened to take his forces home if he was placed behind the Hornwoods or the Cerwyns in the order of march, Robb told him he was welcome to do so. "And when we are done with the Lannisters," he promised, scratching Grey Wind behind the ear, "we will march back north, root you out of your keep, and hang you for an oathbreaker." Cursing, the Greatjon flung a flagon of ale into the fire and bellowed that Robb was so green he must piss grass. When Hallis Mollen moved to restrain him, he knocked him to the floor, kicked over a table, and unsheathed the biggest, ugliest greatsword that Bran had ever seen. All along the benches, his sons and brothers and sworn swords leapt to their feet, grabbing for their steel.
而當那個人稱“大瓊恩”，身形和阿多一樣高，卻足足壯他兩倍的安柏伯爵出言不遜，聲稱假如要他走在霍伍德或賽文家部隊后面，他就立刻班師回家時，羅柏說歡迎他這么做。“等收拾蘭尼斯特之后，”他向對方保證，一邊搔著灰風的耳背。“我們會立刻回師北方，把你從你家城堡里抓出來，當成背誓者吊死。”大瓊恩聽了破口大罵，將一罐麥酒丟進火里，他吹胡子瞪眼地說羅柏不過是個青澀的毛頭小鬼，八成連尿都是草綠色的。哈里斯·莫蘭上前勸阻，卻被他推倒在地，接著他踢翻桌子，拔出一把布蘭所知最大最丑的巨劍。他坐在兩邊長凳上的兒子、兄弟和部下們也紛紛一躍起身，伸手握住武器。
Yet Robb only said a quiet word, and in a snarl and the blink of an eye Lord Umber was on his back, his sword spinning on the floor three feet away and his hand dripping blood where Grey Wind had bitten off two fingers. "My lord father taught me that it was death to bare steel against your liege lord," Robb said, "but doubtless you only meant to cut my meat."
然而羅柏不過輕輕說了一個字，只聽灰風一聲怒吼，立時便咬掉安柏伯爵兩根手指，把他摔得四腳朝天，劍飛到三尺之外，手上鮮血淋漓。“家父曾經教導我，在宣誓效忠的領主面前拔劍是惟一死罪。”羅柏說，“但我相信您只是想幫我切肉罷了。”
